Soliciting waistcoat ideas

dbh,
Not to hijack the thread, but I really like your kilt jacket. It's a very simple design. I know you're handy with a needle and thread, is it a conversion or one you made yourself?
Thanks,
Remy

It's a jacket that I got at a thrift shop, then cut down. There are no epaulettes, no cuffs, no reshaped pocket flaps, and the outer pockets are now non-fucntional, since the jacket had to be shortened.

Great looks all. I would think any brown tweed vest would look great with that jacket and kilt...

Just thought I would throw this one out there. I have a matching waistcoat for the jacket, but I occasionally wear the one shown. It's maroon doeskin. I like it with my Paratrooper's Balmoral. Also, I'm not really as much of a sour puss as I look.

Am just in the process of ordering a made to measure moleskin waistcoat from www.janetsteward.co.uk . Incredibly good value for money about £27 dependent on material and whether you want pockets. Made to measure are £5 more than standard stock sizes. Unfortunately she doesnt ship to the States but for us this side of the pond its a bargain. She will also make your waistcoat from material you supply e.g. tweed or tartan, again for incredibly good prices.
